Vroom with a view: Dacia’s ultimate car camping set up

If you fancy the idea of a weekend escape without the cost or faff of a full campervan, you should seriously consider leasing a Dacia. The brand’s growing InNature accessory range is fast becoming one of the cleverest and cost-effective options on the market for lovers of the great outdoors. The latest addition is a new 3m x 3m canvas awning, designed to turn models like the Sandero Stepway, Jogger, Duster and Bigster into simple, affordable basecamps for outdoor adventures.

Dacia has always leaned into the idea of doing more with less, and the new awning fits that philosophy perfectly.

It easily attaches to any model fitted with roof bars, uses 40% recycled material, and deploys quickly thanks to telescopic poles. Once it’s up, you get a generous sheltered space that works just as well for cooking and relaxing as it does for hiding from the inevitable British drizzle. Who knows, it could even come in handy for more mundane tasks like unloading a boot full of shopping or sitting comfortably in the shade watching your kids run around the local park.

The new awning attachment slots neatly into a range that already includes one of Dacia’s most ingenious accessories: the Sleep Pack.

A compact module that folds out into a double bed, complete with a mattress, and that still leaves usable storage underneath for day-to-day use. If you want the freedom of a camper without the price tag, it’s a brilliantly simple solution. The Sleep Pack module also doubles as a tray table, making it just as handy for festivals and road trips as it is for longer camping trips.

Dacia is also expanding its YouClip accessory range, which focuses on small, modular add-ons that make everyday life easier.

The latest editions include a handy glasses holder and a shopping bag made entirely from recycled material. They’re not flashy, but they’re exactly the kind of practical touches that Dacia drivers have learned to appreciate — useful, robust and designed around real-world needs rather than showroom gimmicks.

This growing ecosystem adds another layer to Dacia’s already strong appeal.

Whether you’re choosing a Sandero Stepway for its simplicity, a Jogger for its seven-seat versatility, or a Duster or Bigster for their rugged charm, the ability to turn them into a flexible outdoor setup is a genuine bonus. It means your next car can double as a weekend escape vehicle, and for a fraction of the cost of a second car or a dedicated camper – and more importantly, without having to endure the soul-destroying agony of trying to pitch a tent… in the dark… during a freezing downpour.

Dacia’s InNature and YouClip ranges continue to prove that adventure doesn’t need to be expensive or complicated. With the new awning joining the line-up, leasing a Dacia now offers even more ways to enjoy the outdoors — and all without straying from that trademark blend of simplicity, practicality and great value.
